Hyde and St. Helens Town were relegated.
Carlisle United and Workington appear to
have been forced to leave the competition
‘for geographical reasons’. The
details of what happened and why are unknown.
The clubs were apparently barred from continuing
in the Lancashire Combination and so moved
their first teams to the North Eastern league
instead.

# On the final day of the season, the match
between Chorley and Liverpool Reserves was
abandoned after 25 minutes, with the Reds’
leading second string leading 1-0. The result
was allowed to stand. There was no
relegation because of a mass departure of
clubs from the Lancashire Combination.

At the end of the season all the Football
League clubs withdrew their reserve sides
from the competition and set up the Central
League. They were joined in this by Southport
Central. The top 11 clubs in Division Two
were therefore ‘promoted’ and
seven new clubs were admitted to the 2nd Division – Altrincham, Lancaster Town,
Macclesfield, Oswestry United, Portsmouth
Rovers, South Liverpool and Stalybridge Celtic.

The competition was affected by the outbreak
of the First World War, but, unlike many
other leagues, continued to operate throughout
the 1915-1919 period in one form or another.
In 1919 the Lancashire Combination proper
resumed with a single division.

1915-1916

As a result of the First World War, the Lancashire
Combination suspended ‘normal operations’,
but continued to operate. While some of the
league’s members stopped playing, others
joined ‘mini-leagues’. Divided
into Northern and Southern sections, those
clubs involved played a ‘first league’
and then a ‘subsidiary competition’.
A handful of sides from outside the Combination
were also involved in this.

1916-1917

While clubs involved in the Northern section
and Glossop Reserves ceased to operate, those
in the Southern section continued to play,
being joined by Barrow and Hurst in a ‘First
competition’. A number of matches were
not played, either due to adverse weather
or because of a lack of ‘official permission’.

The effects of the War continued to bite
hard into any semblance of ‘normal

Combination almost disappeared. Two clubs
kept going and were joined by three others
to play a series of matches over the season.

returned with Liverpool and Manchester sections
being played, though not completed by all
clubs.

Auxiliary Section

After the ‘regular’ season had
finished (or even before this), many Lancashire
Combination clubs and some others played
a varying number of games. Quite what the
status of these matches was is unclear, as
is the question of whether they were played
under the auspices of the Combination or
not. Whatever the case, a league table was
drawn up once ‘the Auxiliary Section’
games were over. It makes strange reading.

Accrington Stanley, Barrow and Wigan Borough
